I came via "Be Yourself" blog. I then saw your precious son with that familiar boot and was curious as to know why. Searching your post, I found the reason and the challenges you have face. I battled a broken leg for over 3 years and 8 unexpected surgeries. I am almost out of my boot, thank the lord, and I pray you will be too very soon. Keeping the faith was a struggle but you find there are lessons in your hardship. The lord must have truly wanted my attention as I was quite stubborn so my trial lasted well beyond what the dr's ever thought. 3-6 months and 1 surgery turn into way more, it was even a challenge for the dr's too and their ego.

Lean on the lord for your strength and he WILL direct your path. You now can take what you have learned with your struggle(s)to help someone else. Its all in GOD's plan and in the end, He gets all the glory.

One thing I learned how to get around without that dad-blasted wheelchair. Since my broken leg was near my right ankle, those walkers with the seat and bike type handle bars and 4 wheels make great scooters. Predicated you have a good healthy knee. Just place your knee on the seat and use your good foot to push off, you can control the breaks with your hands and lean left or right when you want to turn. Also when tired you can sit on the walker and scoot yourself around and they are narrow too so its great in tight places.

OH! I know your biceps will be in super shape, I have rocks for arms.

I will be back to visit, to see more of your trip to Africa too. You have an amazing GOD given talent for photography! Outstanding creative eye.
